Up next in the Vivo IPL 2021 is a fascinating contest between the Punjab Kings and the Mumbai Indians. After starting the season on a winning note against the Rajasthan Royals, the KL Rahul led PBKS have lost three games in a row since and find themselves at the bottom of the current points table. They will need to start picking up wins before it's too late.
On the other hand, we have last year's champions MI who have two wins in four games. Although each of these games went down to the wire, MI would be looking for a better support from the middle order who have underfired in all the games till now. Their bowling unit looks devastating as always.
